Being an “ally” is kind of cringe. Why?
About this episode
The episode explores the evolving concept of allyship through discussions with comedians Hari Kondabolu and Milly Tamarez.
People have been talking about being "allies" for a long time now. But what has that actually meant, over the years? And how performative should allyship be? One of our guests says, keep it to yourself. The other says, be loud and proud. So that's what we're getting into today with comedians Hari Kondabolu and Milly Tamarez — the many ways (good and bad) to be a so-called ally.
